Hey Marc,

It's been a while since the Leo Eaton UFO script thing we did...hope
you are well.

Sorry for the delay in responding...I'm working on VFX for 2 movies
and restoring the Steve Canyon TV series as well...and still
struggling to keep my house! Unbelievable...

Okay, I am about to reveal my biggest secret...the one that makes me
look like an absolute research WIZARD to everybody:

I have been using an online archive to do research on Steve Canyon
for the last 3 years...the archive doesn't have EVERY newspaper in
it...but they have about a HUNDRED MILLION searchable newspaper pages
and are adding approx 80,000 pages PER DAY(!) from the year 1759 to
the present...and I have found it to be an indispensable research
tool! It took me MAYBE 10 minutes to gather and type up the info I
posted about Timelash. Good searching skills help, but they try and
make it easy with a search form.

Anyone interested can click on the link below to check it out...if
there is no link, email me and I'll send one direct. Going through my
link does two things...you get the free trial and (I believe) a
reduced rate...and I get a few bucks. If they don't offer the reduced
rate ($39.95 per year I believe) you can call them and ask for that
rate like I did. When I signed up it was about $150 per year
(gulp!)...but I wised up ;)

There is also a link on the sidebar of my Steve Canyon site at:
http://stevecanyondvd.blogspot.com

You can also just go direct to http://www.newspaperarchive.com if
you wish...

(Probably WAY TOO MUCH information...but you asked!)

Thanks for everything you've done personally Marc to keep UFO
alive...I still feel like a kid whenever I think about UFO!

Gotta scoot,

Bestest,

John Ellis

I suspect that message was meant for me directly, but now everyone
in SHADO now benefits by knowing that this exists. I'll have
to check this out the next time I want to expand on my file which
keeps track of original UFO broadcast dates -- it was certainly
too expensive to buy individual TV Guides on eBay, but this seems
reasonable enough...

Thanks!

Marc

When I saw it I was Living in West Palm Beach Florida at the Time... In which I believe I saw TIMELASH in 1973... Only I believe the Show was in Reruns at this Time...

Mainly I did not get to see much UFO from 1970 thru 1974... Unless it was on someone Else's Television or I happened to Catch a Episode by myself Here& There... Most of the Episodes I Recall were the Ones on the MOON as all of the Apollo MOON Fights were going on at the same Time...

During 1973 my Father was High and or Top Clearance Security Process Operator working at a Research & Development Lab in the Swamp Servicing the SR-71Blackbird which would Fly in from AREA 51 at Times... As Many of the Episodes Reminded me of my Dad being at Work... Testing some UFO...

During which I recall this UFO Timelash Episode... Mainly the Part at the End... Straker Face Buckling while Shooting Down the UFO with a Rocket Launcher... As somewhere Right around this same Period My Father was Driving Home from the Swamp during some Late Night Second or Third Shift... Witnessed a Whopper Hamburger Shaped UFO being Chased by a Sheriff's Helicopter... Which was then in Paper along with Reports about it were on the Radio the Following Morning... As all of this ALIEN Abduction Data was then Running threw my Seven and or Eight Year Old Brain...

Pat!!!
